NFS Home drives and Static Indexes

[Phill Gillespie <it snipef org>]

I'm looking to get Beagle set up to search inside my users' files. There 
are two main places I need it to search, their home directories and two 
shared folders. The computers are set-up as follows:
* Shared Drives on computer A shared by Samba (other Windows users) in 
the folder /samba
* Home drives also on computer A shared by NFS to four machines
* Four Thin Client servers which users log on to and get their desktop 
via NFS

I can get Beagle running on computer A to index the two shared folders 
and share that static index over the network.

Any idea how I can get the home drives index on a per user basis and 
index their emails?  If I do it via NFS the performance is awful and if 
I do it on computer A I'd have to run 15 daemons and lose the email search.

I am willing to listen to better ways to set up the home drives if 
anyone has one...
